"Harold and Terry Link

Create Old Heidelberg"

When the town of Helen became a Bavarian Village in the 1970's, everyone thought it was fake. It took an authentic German family to change their minds.

Wilheim, Olga and Hans Raab, Harold and Terry Link, Elke and her husband at the time, Tony Estrella moved to Helen in 1976. Harold and Terry came to Helen for their honeymoon. They ended up building Helens largest three-story restaurant, The Old Heidelberg, which has served German dishes for over 50 years.

Terry Link will speak about this talented family on April 11th from 4pm to 6pm - please come join us! Admission is FREE
